Glacial Oak is ASH’s brand of American Oak, handpicked by region and colour, graded and packed to meet Australian manufacturer’s requirements. Processed in Victoria, Glacial Oak is a stunning and sustainable hardwood and is a superior alternative to the now unavailable Victorian Ash.
Crown cut and beautifully blonde in appearance, Glacial Oak is recommended for many applications including staircase components, lining, furniture and joinery, benchtops and panels, windows and doors, solid flooring and DAR and sawn. We’ll provide a raw, uncoated sample giving you a true appreciation for the natural timber.
Australian Oak is ASH’s brand of Tasmanian Oak timber. As a strong and stable hardwood, Australian Oak offers great workability due to its high sanding and gluing potential.
Quarter sawn to ensure optimal stability, Australian Oak is cut perfectly straight. Suitable for a range of interior applications like furniture and joinery, staircase components, benchtops, flooring and lining. Designed to match our externally treated IronAsh timber to provide a seamless transition from inside to out.

After receiving your bench tops, it is important that they are stored flat, protected from the weather, wind and direct heat; and not exposed to extreme changes in humidity. It is recommended that the panels be stored fully wrapped in plastic until such time as the bench top is required.
Sealing the bench tops is essential to prevent excessive movement. When exposing the end grain by cutting, drilling or profiling, it is good practice to temporarily tape the exposed end grain until a finishing sealant is applied. ASH benchtops must be envelope sealed ie. top, bottom, edges and ends. Pay particular attention to the inside of cutouts especially the end grain. If you cut on site – reseal the cut area with at least four coats of sealer.
ASH benchtops are not suitable for exterior use. If an ASH benchtop has to be used in external situations the maintenance of the seal coats become even more critical. If the surface looks worn or bare then recoating should be done immediately.
